That's Grafton's Lane jimmy - where allegedly the Earl of Grafton was shot in the siege of the city in the 1660s I think

Edit: I think Rochford's Lane may be off NMS but I'd have to do some checking.

2nd Edit: Hard to know for sure but it looks like it might be the one linking Grafton Lane to The Grand Parade

Old lanes and alleys of Cork - Google My Maps

This map plots the locations of lanes and alleys of Cork city. Many of theses are no longer in existence and so the placemarks give the location of where the lane/alley would have been situated.

Never heard of Rochford's lane.
Wonder is it one of those closed off "lanes" on the Nart Main Street?

Must look back on the article but almost certain i read it was grand parade/south mall area,

?
Could it be the lane that goes from OPS to the South Mall and ends opposite Parliament Bridge next to Allianz Insurance?

Well Done!
Looks like it's a blind alley. Would be interesting to have a look at a 19th. century map to see how many houses were once there.
